      Steps to reproduce

      I'd like to have one e-mail account for 2 records but when I try to modify it as admin I've get the following error:

      Email address must be unique, currently used by <ANOTHER ACCOUNT>

      Incidental if you press cancel, then you get a NullPointerException (we should fix this).

      However if the user itself goes and updates email address using Profile this error does not appear and the e-mail is successfully duplicated.

      The customer (in FSH-1299) would like to allow duplicate email addresses and asks that the restriction on admins should be removed (esp since the users themselves can do it).

            [FE-809] Administrator cannot set a users email to be the same as another user, but the user itself can.

            Users can no longer alter their email such that it is a duplicate.

            Allowing a many to one relationship between users and email addresses creates problems with resetting passwords via emails and other user cases for which an email act as a secondary id for a user.
